During the process of writing down notes while memory was fresh something else has jumped out, one officer questioned about the "volume" of shooting.
They appear to have been concerned by either (1) loudness of shooting or (2) number of shots being fired (bear in mind 29 ducks were shot but no more than 40rnds were fired)
This line of enquiry makes the complaint sound even more suspect to me.
At one point was told had not committed any offence and could leave...then other officer (who was the only officer that referred to pellets landing on house roof) stated he would be getting sent a letter. (First contact officers said they were responding to shooting in riverbed "most likely duck shooter" call.
Implications are shotguns are too loud, or you cannot shoot the legal limit of birds because it requires too many shots to be fired creating noise nuisance?
